Internship Opportunities

Although the department does not run a formal internship program, undergraduates may pursue a wide range of internship opportunities. History majors have served as interns in the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program (see below for more information), Department of Special and Area Studies Collections, at the Florida Museum of Natural History, at the University Press of Florida, and with a number of local historical societies and museums. Internships are arranged on a case-by-case in consultation with the Department’s Internship Coordinator (usually the Undergraduate Coordinator).

In order for the internship to count for history credit, prospective interns must do the following before the start of the internship:

inform both their internship supervisor and the Internship Coordinator of their intention to earn academic credit

confirm that the internship will involve substantial historical work (e.g. processing archival collections, serving as a museum guide, conducting historical research for on-going projects and publications)

in consultation with the supervisor and the Internship Coordinator, come up with a set of assignments on which the grade will be based. These may include, but are not limited to, regular progress reports, website design, exit essays, and research papers.
